At the beginning of the year, the Sally Beauty-owned FingerPaints brand changed things up with a new logo, a new core collection of colors and a string of new limited edition collections. One of them, Pastel Rain is a set of three creamy bases with three matching glitter toppers, perfect for the spring.

Formula & Application

FingerPaints nail polish is 5-Free (Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor) and produced exclusively for Sally Beauty. The FingerPaints bottle is unique in that it’s kind of an oblong shape (remember The Oblongs) with a long, slender, slightly taped cap.

FingerPaints recently revamped their polish line, including the brush. The bottle now contains a long, flat, wide brush with flexible bristles that easily fans out without putting too much pressure on the nail.

The three cremes in this collection are kind of thick with pigment but they self level. The only issue I had is that I felt like I had to apply it thicker than usual to avoid streaks. That being said, I got full coverage with two coats. All three dried with a satin finish. The three glitters are all best used as top coats.

Bottom Line: The creme bases are well made and pretty but not overly unique. My favorite part are the glitter toppers. While these type of mixed media glitters originated in the indie world, I like that they’ve become so affordable and accessible thanks to brands like FingerPaints. I love the shards in Crystal Springs and even though I’m not a pink girl, I’m thinking A Pink of Pixie will look really fresh over a bright blue or navy.

FingerPaints Pastel Rain is available now at Sally Beauty stores nationwide and online at SallyBeauty.com. FingerPaints polishes normally retail for $5.99/ea but right now this collection is on sale at SallyBeauty.com for $3.99/ea and all six colors are in stock.

I bought all three cremes and I love them. Prior to that I bought several Miliani glitter top coats for this spring and it seems they are quite similar to FP glitters so I passed on them. Now that I see your swatches I see the holo which makes them more unique. Thanks for the great review.

As much as I love color, a clean black and white print is effortlessly chic. Simple, sophisticated nail art dominated the Spring 2015 runways. Subtle black and white looks, created by Deborah Lippmann and Jin Soon Choi made quite a splash. Today, I sharing an easy nail art tutorial, inspired by a NYFW SS15 design, […]

There’s a new nail polish brand on the drugstore block, Nonie Creme Colour Prevails. butter LONDON fans will recognize Nonie Creme as the former Creative Director. It’s been a few years since her departure, and I know I wasn’t the only one wondering where she would take her creative genius. I’ve kept tabs on Nonie through […]

I have never understood the point of going on vacation in the summer. When you grow up in Ohio, Summer is the best time of year to be outside. I see no reason to escape. However, come mid-January, all I want is a beach. Last year, I was fortunate to wave goodbye to the snow and […]

I’m on a mission, you guys, and I need your help! It all started during a recent #NailGlossip chat (next one is March 1st!), when I mentioned how much I love China Glaze Glass Fleck polishes and lamented that they haven’t made any in a while. That’s when #BringBackGlassFleck was born. And it’s popped up […]

If you live in a cold, dry climate, you winterize your home, car and more than likely your skin care routine but what about your hands? Given the below-freezing windchill temps that typically plague Cleveland, I’ve become acutely observant of the state of my hands and nails during the winter. Unless you wear gloves 24/7, your […]
